Obama's Freudian Slip - Oops!

Obama said exactly what he meant, (although he could have phrased it better) it was the interviewer who misunderstood. He was commenting on whether John McCain had personally spread rumors about his supposed Muslim faith. Those of you who don't get it should just keep your heads in the sand and continue voting republican.

I just wish Obama wouldn't run from being a Muslim quite so fast/hard. He should make a point to say that being Muslim isn't a bad thing, but that he's clearly Christian, and has been his entire life.

Personally, him being a muslim wouldn't matter to me. And I'm not a McCain hater, but the religious right is scary, and unless you're a bible thumping white guy, you should be scared too!!

lol the ole' ''secret Muslim'' routine.
I dont get it...he went to a Christian church for twenty years and yet he is a Muslim? Doesnt make sense to me. And anyway I dont think religion should rule out any candidate.

Wait a minute... this isn't a Freudian slip, Jo. Slip of the tongue, maybe, but not Freudian. A Freudian slip is sexual in its nature, like saying "its a bit nipply out today" or "this is my breast friend"... The point I'm making here is that if we're going to hang on every word that these guys are saying, we ought to be more careful with our own, you know what I mean?

the reason it's so important to distinguish his religion is because a candidates religion is extremely important to the majority of voters. It's sad but true, and if Obama openly said he was a muslim from the beginning he would not have lasted more than a few months in the primaries. i'm just saying I think that's the way things really are. I'm sure 99% of the people on current think the idea of this is absurd and bigotted but a huge amount of american people, even a large portion of democrats, still think in these terms.

jfk was catholic, and the public was upset because he would have had to answer to the pope if anything arose. big deal. if barack were muslim, it would have to be fine. there's nothing scandalous or wrong about following islam. that's the beauty of the freedom of religion. besides, he has always claimed to be christian, and i have no reason to doubt him. he has nothing to hide. people are just having fun spreading rumors. the one surrounded by controversy is palin. way to go, mccain.

I'm sorry...it's bad to be a Muslim why?

How ugly a soundbite would that have been if Stephenapolis hadn't corrected him...wow.

Hey, try to keep up: today Sean Hannity tried to backpedal and claim that Faux Noise never claimed Barack to be a Muslim! I guess if they are running from this, perhaps the rest of you Barack-attackers might too?

come on. OMG HE SAID IT HE SAID IT, TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

Forget about the context of the speech, its AMERICA, we live on SOUND BITES taken OUT of Context.

whoever posted this is fucking pathetic.

I see. So I guess this whole thing of freedom of religion really means that being a Muslim bars one from being president.....

It really makes a lot of sense if you think about it for a long time.

pssst...it doesn't matter if he is

I have to admit... It came out of his mouth quite naturally. So naturally as a matter of fact that he didnt even appear realize he what he said and made no attempt to correct himself until he was corrected.

You have to at least acknowledge that he has had a fairly strong Muslim influence in his youth that is undeniable. The question is what does he truly believe.

Quite honestly I dont really care what his faith is because I am already at odds with his political positions. But I do find it interesting that he seems to always get drawn back into the issue, and its not always that right that drags him back.
From the controversy at his church, I mean come on really? You attend a church for over 20 years and you call the pastor a mentor and father figure, but yet you some how miss the fact that the guy spews anti-white, anti-American retoric almost every Sunday.

Hell I was raised a Catholic and managed to sleep thru most sermons, I at least knew what the general message was that was being handed out every week.

In the end I dont believe that it will be the far leftist policies that will do Obama in but it will be all the unknowns that surround him. From his Faith to his to is experience to his ties with the corrupt Chicago politcal machine.

He's run a pretty slick campaign dodging those unknowns up to now.... but we are not in the primaries any more...

Good grief, the ADD of the public is staggering. WATCH the videos in their ENTIRETY. Barack MEANT to discuss his supposed Muslim faith--the false meme that he is a Muslim. It was Stefanopoulous who screwed this up by ASSUMING that Barack had said something he did not mean to say. I must say it's really amazing to me that people who cannot seem to pay any attention to facts are so interested in drilling into these details in order to twist them around.

i dont think you could edit this to within a sound byte because it wasn't a completed statement. Thank god for George.

Give us a break. He is not a Muslim and he was referring to the PACs campaign to spread that rumor. You want to talk about someones church? Let us talk about Palins. Snake handling is downright freaky.

LarzNero hmmm....
Why'd you add that N to your name?
Shouldn't it be Lars-Zero? Just like your hero...

oh come on.
Obama was obviously putting his "muslim faith" in paretheses, and the interviewer immediately jumped in to correct him even though Obama knew what he was talking about. You would only think Obama was "admitting" to being muslim if you had no ability to follow the conversation.
